> Fascinating to see how many tech people, as soon as they get rich, turn to extreme.

This is just because the latest people to have gotten crazy-rich came from tech. IMHO, the same can be said of all people who became emperors in a minute. (which is a whole new thing)

We are all just humans, and none of us are evolved for this. This could happen to anyone of us... could it not?

I think many of us have seen the changes that occur when this happens. Again, we are just not evolved for this. How could we be? The number of people that this happens to is a tiny fraction of the species, and so those who experience this, get really weird.
